i dont htink the honor level was increased. I may be wrong. I usally like to play as a rifle man as the nazis but I always switch to the squad leader to get more points. (i am a decent squad leader by the way)

also imo honor lvl does not matter at all,sure some extra weapons would be nice and sniper scope but RO2 is fun even with stock weapons.maybe it just needs to be more careful since there is many veterans with good buffs on weapon usage

2,000 hours? Hope that's a joke: coming up on 100 and will soon have all of RO2 guns leveled, and half of RS.

Yeah but he's a troll dont mind him.Also, level 50 weapons are a BIG difference over level 25 weapons, same goes for 25 over level 0 weps.You aim down the sights faster, have better chance to one hit kill with melee, you have less sway, you reload faster, not to mention the attachments you'd get to improve your combat ability (dual mag, drum mag, scopes, bayonets, etc.)

ON TOP OF, the class levels that improve your efficiency with your already level 25-50 weapons which makes you just a plain badass. You run faster, recover stamina quicker, get suppressed less, Heros inspire others to fight (less suppression for nearby teammates)

ye and when you deside to choose Team leader, make sure you know what you're doing nothing is more annoying then a noob choosing the Commander role. (not saying you're a noob, just and example) I was a TL last night for one of the first times, thank god we had good squad leaders cause we won each map I was TL in 10 min, but anyways : come in prepared if you want to be TL
